Natural 8 Ambassador Kitty Kuo Leads 48 Survivors

Level 26: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000

Chip Leader Kitty Kuo - Natural 8 Ambassador

Day 3 of the APT Taipei 2025 Main Event has concluded with competition stopping when the target of the final 48 survivors was reached after an electrifying day of poker here at the Red Space venue in Taipei, Taiwan.

The day began with 375 players already locked in for a minimum payout from the record-breaking prize pool of TWD 121,033,440 (~$3.7 million), the largest in APT history. The field, which represents the largest ever Main Event turnout in APT’s 19-year history, also marks the richest Main Event to date.

Ending at the top of the chip counts after nine hours of intense play was Natural8’s ambassador and Taiwan’s own Kitty Kuo, who amassed a staggering 7,575,000 chips. Kuo, who won the APT Main back here in 2021, will return tomorrow in the best position to claim the record-breaking top prize of TWD 19,009,440 (~$586,710), that also comes with a signature APT Gold Lion trophy and an APTC Main Event seat worth TWD 350,000.

Kuo, an OnLive qualifier, wasted no time making her mark in the Main Event. Early on, she sent David Erquiaga and Kit Kwan Chun in back-to-back hands and quickly climbed the chip counts. During the penultimate level of the day, she surged into the chip lead after her pocket aces held against Shinya Maeda's two kings, never relinquishing her top spot thereafter.

Starting Day 4 in second place will be Taiwan's Huang Mu Shiang with 5,205,000 chips, closely followed by Wayne Lam in third with 5,175,000. Further down the leaderboard is Nicholas Go, who brings through an average stack of 2,350,000 chips. Go, who has already gained plenty of experience under the lights this series, finished as the runner-up in the APT Superstar Challenge, and has the chance to go one better here in the Main Event.

Wayne Lam

Day 3 concluded with the elimination of Jason Chan. He three-bet shoved his short stack into the middle with jack-ten and ran into the aces of Andrew Ong. There was no miracle runout for Chan and he was last to bust the day.

Some other notables who will be taking theirs seats on the felt include India's Nishant Kumar (2,615,000), APT regular Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss (2,100,000), Peter Kiem (1,095,000), the 2024 APT Taipei Main Event runner-up Abraham Ceesvin (1,025,000) Poland's Dawid Smolka (970,000), and short stacked Zhen Dong (345,000).

A highlight of Day 3 was the raffle draw for a coveted APT Championship ticket worth TWD 350,000. One Main Event player was drawn from the field with still 185 players remaining. The lucky draw was awarded to China’s Chung Ching Cheung.

Ryan Kim

Ryan Kim opened the action with a raise to 60,000 from under the gun, and the action folded around to Duc Linh Dinh in the big blind. Dinh took his time, burning through a few time bank chips before deciding to three-bet to 220,000. Kim opted to smooth-call, and the two went to a flop.

The flop came down K♣ 7♥ K♥ , and Dinh led out with a bet of 125,000. Kim responded by raising to 300,000, which Dinh quickly called.

Dinh knuckled the table when the 9♦ hit on the turn. Kim fired 400,000 into the middle, and Dinh called again.

With 1,900,000 now in the middle, the dealer revealed the :8d on the river. Dinh checked, and Kim slid out a stack of T-100,000 chips, putting Dinh all in for his last 600,000. Dinh leaned forward, tossing in all his time bank chips and staring at his neighbor. Dinh agonized over the decision for a while before deciding to make the call

Duc Linh Dinh: T♠ T♥

Ryan KIm: A♣ K♦

Kim had flopped trips with ace-king and got maximum value from Dinh’s pocket tens. Dinh went to collect his payout, while Kim moved up to around 4,500,000 chips.

Time for Ishikawa to Go to the Payout Desk

Level 23: 12,000 / 24,000 ante: 24,000

Soma Ishikawa

Nicholas Go min-raised from under the gun before Soma Ishikawa three-bet jammed his 200,000 stack from the hijack. When the action got back to Go, he picked up his cards as if he were going to fold, fiddled with them for a moment, stared down Ishikawa, then stood up and slammed in the call.

Nicholas Go: K♠ J♦

Soma Ishikawa: A♦ J♥

Go was in rough shape against Ishikawa’s ace-jack. Both players stood to watch the flop of Q♦ 4♠ 7♣ fall, which kept Ishikawa’s ace-high ahead.

The 2♠ on the turn changed nothing, leaving Go needing a king on the river to end Ishikawa’s Main Event run. Amazingly that’s exactly what he found when the K♠ spiked on the river. Go erupted in celebration, throwing his hands in the air as he took down the pot with top pair, sending Ishikawa to the rail.

John Matsuda Eying on Glory as Day 3 Fires Off in Historic APT Main Event

With the new benchmark TWD 55,000 Main Event in full swing at APT Taipei 2025, a starting gun fires at 11:15 a.m. local time for Day 3 at the Red Point Center’s Red Space. 375 survivors are at their marks and all eager to etch their names in this history-making tournament, which garnered a record-shattering 2,547 entries and easily eclipsed the previous all-time mark in APT history.

After a gruelling Day 2, each standout contenders is guaranteed a minimum cash of TWD 85,000 (~USD 2,620). With the staggering turnout, the confirmed prize pool has been ballooned to TWD 121,033,440 (~USD 3,735,600), with a jaw-dropping TWD 19,009,440 (~USD586,710) set aside for the eventual champion.

Meanwhile, the top three finishers won’t just claim a hefty share of the prize pool. They will also lock up an APTC Main Event Seat, equating to TWD 350,000! To add to the excitement, a lucky draw for another seat will take place as soon as the action kicks off in Day 3.

Nicholas Go of Hong Kong locks up the chip lead to sit atop the leaderboard with a dominating stack of 1,281,000 as the only player to cross the one-million milestone in chips following stiff competition in Day 2. Emerging from Flight A, Go navigated through the field with poise and intensity. His expressive presence during pivotal hands seemingly attracted the poker goddess Fortuna to his side heading into Day 3.

Finishing Day 2 with a formidable stack of 815,000, John Matsuda is certain to leverage his chips for his first APT title in 2025. A multiple APT casher, including two APT titles at the 2024 APT Manila, John Matsuda has yet to add the elusive Main Event trophy to his resume. With strong momentum on his side, the Japanese pro is well-positioned to chase a new milestone in his career.
